I would agree with you here - but it seems like 'vmsnet' is a better place
to talk about COBOL.  VMS supports it quite nicely - along with other
DEC Os's - here in the UNIX crowd you might run into it once or twice,
but definately not as often as you would on VMS machines.  I think a call
for:

	     vmsnet.cobol

is in order.  Your going to guarentee yourself MORE COBOL programs over
there than here I'd venture to guess.  Besides any of the UNIX programmer
that want to read that group can easily get the feed - and most sites 
are promising to support 'vmsnet' w/ or w/out a COBOL group.

              - Jeff
